Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
321 PM CDT Fri May 3 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 242 PM CDT Fri May 3 2019

Two areas of thunderstorm activity were spreading into the western
portion of the forecast area this afternoon. The westernmost
activity associated with an upper level shortwave has been
tracking eastward from southwest Kansas since early morning, and
the second area developed over the southwest corner of Missouri on
the warm side of an advancing warm front where the airmass warmed
and destabilized. The MRMS hail product MESH (maximum expected
hail size) has been showing some small hail around one quarter
inch (pea) to one half inch with the stronger storms extending
from western Stone to southern Barry, McDonald and Ottawa
counties. The storm over Ottawa County is also showing some bowing
structure.

Through the rest of the afternoon into early evening, the storms
will spread eastward and drop some heavy rain over already
saturated areas so the flash flood watch will remain in effect
through the evening. Will be adjusting the hazardous weather
outlook to add some hail/wind threat to southern MO based on
current radar trends.

Expect most of the storms to end overnight and early Saturday
morning with gradual clearing from west to east through the
afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday)
Issued at 242 PM CDT Fri May 3 2019

Expect a brief dry period Saturday night and Sunday before another
upper level disturbance embedded in active westerlies moves across
the area and brings another round of rain.

A strong upper level trough will be coming onshore along the
southern Pacific coast Sunday night or Monday and tracking across
the southern US tier through midweek. Surface low pressure
deepens over the southern Plains on Tuesday ahead of the upper
level trough and brings another big batch of rain to the the
region from late Tuesday night through Thursday. The cold front
associated with this system pushes across the Ozarks Wednesday
night and Thursday bringing below normal temps to the region
through the end of the work week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1208 PM CDT Fri May 3 2019

Will be keeping ceilings IFR to MVFR through the forecast period
as abundant moisture spreads northward and interacts with a nearly
stationary front over southern MO. Surface winds will be variable
in direction through the day but are expected to remain light. All
sites will shift to the northeast as the front sags southward into
Arkansas later tonight.

Scattered showers and storms were beginning to develop south and
west of the airports. Expect this activity to spread northeastward
and increase in coverage through the afternoon into early evening.
